    Disturbing and Depraved; Am I Missing The 'Artistic' Significance Here ??
    A young woman frequently takes on the roleplay of a naked 'cow' to help her disturbed and senile father feel like his late husbandry-affection is restored to him. Lots of explicit sex - still can't fgure out if it's real or not, and basially the antithesis of the 'romance genre' that IMBD claims this film to be !

    Watch it for a laugh, but don't expect anything even remotely beautiful or wholesome; depraved liberal 'arthouse' tripe !
